Book Description

In earlier days of sail & oar, before marine engines, scores of locally-built craft worked out of tiny harbours & off open beaches around the coasts of Britain. Few records were made or kept about them but in these 2 volumes the author attempts to rectify this by retelling the experiences told to him by the men who undertook this life in the last half of the 19th century.
